The United States used the MQ-9 drone to carry the AGM114-R9X "flying knife missile" in 2020, and carried out a precision strike against Sulaimani, the commander of iran's Quds Force at the time, the AGM114-R9X is a very cruel weapon, because it uses six blades to strike, and once hit, it is a different place. The United States not only has the MQ-9 cha-ta integrated UAV, but also has an attack unmanned aerial vehicle system known as the spring knife, according to public information, the spring knife UAV is a mini cruise missile used by individual soldiers, the extended range spring knife has a combat radius of 80 kilometers, can be used for tanks and other ground armored vehicles, as well as defense fortifications for precision strikes.
The U.S. military used a large-scale switchblade attack UAV system in the invasion of Afghanistan, and the switchblade attack UAV is very easy to carry, so it is suitable for sneak attack operations in complex terrain. 202203259/ Global Defense Watch / Ali, according to the news released by the US media, US President Biden approved a military aid project worth 800 million US dollars on March 16, which includes 100 sets of switchblade attack drones, in addition to a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles and other weapons, this time the United States continues to hand over knives, and is to provide Ukraine with powerful offensive weapons, from the perspective of strike distance, obviously beyond the needs of "defense", The United States has been unscrupulous in asking for military assistance to Ukraine, and the Russian army has encountered hard stubble in combat.
According to global defense watch, the United States has provided $550 million in military assistance, and now the United States is constantly increasing the scale of military assistance and providing offensive weapons. The U.S. military aid to Ukraine is in the context of the United States' reluctance to send troops, and Russia's military strike on Ukraine, which began on February 24, has now entered the fourth week of combat. Russia has launched "special military operations" against Ukraine from multiple directions, including the donbass periphery in the east of Ukraine, the area near Crimea in the south, and the vicinity of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, all of which are russian targets.
In fact, before Russia declared war on Ukraine, the United States and NATO publicly stated that they would not send troops to Ukraine to directly clash with Russia, and also refused Ukraine's request to establish a no-fly zone, and the United States and NATO were clearly unwilling to intervene in the war between Russia and Ukraine, because Ukraine is not a member of NATO, so it cannot trigger NATO's "collective defense" clause. Since its inception, NATO has only used "collective defense" once, and after the United States encountered the 911 attack, it used NATO's "collective defense" clause to carry out a war to invade Afghanistan, during which it was carried out through NATO.
The United States and NATO do not dare to send troops to Ukraine, does not mean that the United States and NATO do not hand over the knife, from the United States to Ukraine to provide a switchblade attack UAV, has been improving the specifications of the weapons of military aid, the spring knife is a cruise missile wearing a drone vest, so it will pose a serious threat to Russia. After Russia attacked Ukraine, the United States, as the "world policeman," did not mediate, but constantly arched the fire, completely exposing the strategic intention of the United States, that is, to use the Ukrainian battlefield to drag Russia down, so the United States actively attracted Ukraine to join NATO is just a trap, and Ukraine has paid a heavy price for this.
